Definitions
- the present invention relates to s discharge lamp lighting device, and to a light fixture that mounts the discharge lamp lighting device thereon.
- Such a conventional discharge lamp lighting device suppresses an illuminance of the discharge lamp at an initial period of such an operation at approximately 70 to 80% of a value at the time of rated lighting.
- the discharge lamp lighting device performs a light adjustment control so as to increase the luminous flux following the elapse of the operating time, and thereby can substantially constantly maintain an apparent illuminance during an operating period until the end of a lifetime.
- the discharge lamp lighting device has an advantage that electric power saving can be achieved in such a manner that, at the initial period of the operation, the discharge lamp lighting device performs the light adjustment and the lighting while reducing electric power consumed in the discharge lamp than rated electric power.
- a rated value of the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp is defined by a manufacturer of the discharge lamp.
- the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp is increased in substantially proportional to a shape of the discharge lamp.
- straight tube fluorescent lamps there are: one with a shape in which a tube length is approximately 600 mm and a tube diameter is approximately 25.5 mm, and with defined electric power of approximately 23W; and one with a shape in which a tube length is approximately 1200 mm and a tube diameter is approximately 25.5 mm, and with defined electric power of approximately 45W.
- an initial luminous flux (luminous flux after elapse of 100 hours from the beginning of the operation) is made public.
- a rated lifetime of the discharge lamp is defined as a shorter one between a time until which a luminous flux deterioration reaches 70% of such initial characteristics and a time until which a filament is broken with regard to the straight tube fluorescent lamp.
- the number of installed light fixtures (units) is decided by taking, as variables, a floor space, a lamp luminous flux (the above-described initial luminous flux), the number of lamps, a light loss factor, and the like.
- This light loss factor is decided so as to obtain the required illuminance at the point of time when the rated lifetime comes while considering the above-described luminous flux deterioration of the fluorescent lamp itself, a decrease of reflectivity owing to adhesion of dirt to the fluorescent lamp and the light fixture, and the like.
- a light loss factor thereof is set at 0.7 in a general operating environment, and the light loss factor is set at 0.74 as a guide in a place where an occurrence of dust is small and the air is always kept clean.
- the light loss factor becomes smaller, the number of light fixtures required to be installed is increased, leading to an increase of cost of the equipment.
- illuminances at the time when the lifetime of the lamp is ended become substantially equal to each other between the following cases, which are: a case of using the general discharge lamp lighting device in which the illuminance is not suppressed from the initial period of the operation; and a case of performing the control to substantially constantly maintain the illuminance so that the illuminance can be always 70 to 80% of the value of the initial luminous flux while considering the decrease of the illuminance in advance.
- the installed light fixtures in both of the cases also become equal in number to each other.
- the illuminance at the initial period of the operation is suppressed to approximately 70 to 80%, whereby electric power saving of approximately 10 to 15% can be achieved during the period from the initial period of the operation to the rated lifetime in comparison with the general discharge lamp lighting device that does not suppress the illuminance from the initial period of the operation, thus making it possible to reduce running cost charged to the user.
- the electric power saving and resource saving cannot be desired any more in terms of obtaining the illuminance required for the working surface as a lighting subject of the light equipment.
- the present invention has been made in consideration for the above-descried circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to provide a discharge lamp lighting device and a light fixture, which are capable of suppressing the cost of the initial investment by the user and the running cost to the user to a low extent while substantially constantly maintaining the apparent illuminance, and further, are capable of realizing the resource saving.

- This discharge lamp lighting device performs full-wave rectification for an alternating current output of a commercial alternating current power supply AC by a diode bridge DB, and inputs the rectified output to a direct current power supply circuit 1.
- the direct current power supply circuit 1 is composed of a DC/DC converter (for example, a boost chopper circuit) that converts such a pulsation output inputted from the diode bridge DB into a direct current output with a desired voltage.
- An inverter circuit 2 is a conventionally well-known one of a half bridge type.
- the inverter circuit 2 is composed in such a manner that a pair of switching elements Q1 and Q2 composed of MOSFETs are connected in series between output terminals of the direct current power supply circuit 1. Note that input resistors R1 and R2 are connected to gate terminals of the switching elements Q1 and Q2, respectively. A detection resistor R3 is connected to a source terminal of the switching element Q2 on a low side.

- the inverter control unit 5 has: an advanced preheating mode of switching the switching elements Q1 and Q2 at a frequency (preheating frequency) sufficiently higher than a no-load resonant frequency of the resonant circuit 3, thereby supplying the preheating current to the filaments of the discharge lamp La from the preheating circuit 8 of the discharge lamp La; a starting mode of switching the switching elements Q1 and Q2 at a frequency (starting frequency) lower than the preheating frequency and higher than the no-load resonant frequency, thereby applying a starting voltage to the discharge lamp La; and a lighting mode of stably lighting the discharge lamp La at a frequency (lighting frequency) higher than a resonant frequency of the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted after the discharge lamp La is started.
- the inverter control unit 5 adjusts high frequency electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La in such a manner that the lighting frequency is increased and reduced by the correction control unit 6.
- the inverter control unit 5 includes: an inverter control signal generation circuit 11 that generates an inverter control signal for performing the switching control for the switching elements Q1 and Q2; a drive circuit 12 that drives the switching elements Q1 and Q2 in response to the inverter control signal outputted from the inverter control signal generation circuit 11; and a preheating timer circuit 10 that limits a period (advanced preheating period) of the advanced preheating mode.
- the inverter control signal generation circuit 11 is composed of an integrated circuit (IC) including a constant voltage buffer circuit, a constant voltage mirror circuit, an oscillating capacitor (any of which is not shown), and the like.
- IC integrated circuit
- a series circuit of resistors R6 and R7 and a series circuit of a switch circuit SW1 which the inverter control unit 5 includes and a resistor R8 are connected between a ground and a terminal Ro of the inverter control unit 5, which is connected to an output terminal of the constant voltage buffer circuit.
- the preheating timer circuit 10 turns on the switch circuit SW1 and starts to limit the advanced preheating period.
- the switch circuit SW1 is switched on, the current flowing through the terminal Ro is increased. Accordingly, the frequency of the inverter control signal becomes relatively high, and the inverter control unit 5 enters into the advanced preheating mode of switching the switching elements Q1 and Q2 at the preheating frequency. Then, when the preheating timer circuit 10 finishes limiting the advanced preheating period and switches off the switch circuit SW1, the current flowing through the terminal Ro is decreased.
- the frequency of the inverter control signal becomes relatively low, and the inverter control unit 5 shifts to the starting mode of switching the switching elements Q1 and Q2 at the starting frequency.
- the preheating timer circuit 10 connects (conducts) the terminal Ro to an electric power correction circuit 13 while interposing a resistor R9 therebetween, a diode D1 and the switch circuit SW2, which are connected to a node between the resistors R6 and R7.

- the electric power correction circuit 13 applies negative feedback to an output voltage of the operational amplifier OP1 in the case where the detection voltage of the detection resistor R3 does not coincide with a signal voltage of the light adjustment signal, and thereby increases and reduces the current of the terminal Ro through the resistor R9 and the diode D1.
- the inverter control unit 5 adjusts an oscillation frequency (switching frequencies of the switching elements Q1 and Q2) of the inverter circuit 2, and operates the electric power correction circuit 13 so that the lamp power (detection voltage of the detection resistor R3) can be a value corresponding to the light adjustment signal.

- the correction control unit 6 includes a signal generation unit 15 that generates the light adjustment signal for adjusting the light quantity of the discharge lamp La in response to the accumulated lighting time outputted from the time counter unit 14.
- This signal generation unit 15 stores a correction table that shows a correspondence relationship between the accumulated lighting time and a direct current voltage level (level corresponding to a light quantity ratio when a level of rated lighting is taken as 100%) of the light adjustment signal. From the correction table, the signal generation unit 15 reads out the light adjustment signal corresponding to the accumulated lighting time outputted from the time counter unit 14, and outputs the readout light adjustment signal to the light adjustment control circuit 4 (electric power correction circuit 13).
- the light adjustment signal outputted from the signal generation unit 15 is limited by an electric power suppression unit 16 so that the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La cannot exceed an upper limit value thereof.
- the upper limit value of the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La is 55W as will be described later, for example, in the case of using an FHF (straight tube fluorescent lamp) 32 as the discharge lamp La.
- the accumulated lighting time stored in the nonvolatile memory 7 is reset (initialized) by a reset unit 17 when the discharge lamp La is replaced.
- the correction control unit 6 When the correction control unit 6 is activated in such a manner that the commercial alternating current power supply AC is turned on for the discharge lamp lighting device, first, the correction control unit 6 reads out the accumulated lighting time stored in the nonvolatile memory 7 and temporarily stores the accumulated lighting time in a memory (not shown), and reads out the light adjustment signal corresponding to the accumulated lighting time concerned from the correction table, and outputs the readout light adjustment signal to the inverter control unit 5.
- the time counter unit 14 starts to count a time from a point of time when the discharge lamp lighting device is activated, and the signal generation unit 15 adds the time counted by the time counter unit 14 to the accumulated lighting time stored in the memory, and updates contents stored in the nonvolatile memory 7.
- the direct current voltage level of the light adjustment signal will be monotonously increased by the correction control unit 6 so as to gradually increase the high frequency electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La following the increase of the accumulated lighting time of the discharge lamp La.
- the inventors of the present invention investigated relationships between the lamp electric power and the light quantity for two types of the straight tube fluorescent lamps (FHF 32, FLR 40S/36), and then results shown in FIG. 2 (a) were obtained.
- the electric powers (lamp supply powers) supplied to the fluorescent lamps are taken on an axis of abscissas, and values (light/electric power ratios) normalized by a light quantity of the time when the lamp supply powers are at rated values (45W in FHF 32, and 36W in FLR 40S/36) are taken on an axis of ordinates
- characteristics of the FHF 32 are shown by a solid line
- characteristics of the FLR 40S/36 are shown by an alternate long and short dash line.

- the FLR 40S/36 is a rapid-start fluorescent lamp with a tube length of 1200 mm and a tube diameter of 25.5 mm in the same way as above, in which the rated lamp electric power is 36W.
- the light fixture including the discharge lamp lighting device starts to supply the lamp supply power from a value lower than 45W as the rated electric power at the initial period of the operation, changes the light adjustment signal in response to the accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be a value higher than 45W as the rated electric power on and after a rated lifetime of the discharge lamp La, and thereby adjusts the lamp supply power (output of the inverter circuit 2).
- the light fixture sets the relationship between the accumulated lighting time and the light adjustment signal so as to allow the following.
- the lamp supply power at the point of time when the lighting is started (when the accumulated lighting time is 0) is allowed to be set at 41W.
- the lamp supply power is allowed to be linearly increased during a period from 0 to 12000 hours as the rated lifetime of the FHF 32 in the accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be 55W at the point of time when 12000 hours elapse.
- the light fixture stores the set relationship in the correction table.
- a lamp current becomes the following values.
- the lamp supply power is 41W at the initial period of the operation, the lamp current becomes approximately 0.35A.
- the lamp current becomes approximately 0.42A.
- the lamp current becomes approximately 0.48A.
- the lamp current becomes approximately 0.51A.
- the lamp current becomes approximately 0.54A.
- a filament temperature of the discharge lamp La rises following the increase of the lamp supply power.
- the filament temperature of the case where the lamp supply power is 53W rises by approximately 5 to 10% from the filament temperature of the case where the lamp supply power is 45W.
- the filament temperature is generally suppressed to a low value until when the accumulated lighting time reaches approximately 7000 hours. Accordingly, there is no apprehension that the lifetime of the discharge lamp La may be significantly impaired even in the case of performing the correction control as described above.
- the light/electric power ratio becomes substantially constant when the lamp supply power is 41W to 55W, and accordingly, the light quantity can be increased without impairing light emission efficiency of the discharge lamp La.

- the lamp supply power in the case of using the fluorescent lamp FHF 32 as the discharge lamp La, the lamp supply power, of which value is higher than 45W as the rated electric power, is started to be supplied to the fluorescent lamp concerned at the initial period of the operation. Then, the lamp supply power is adjusted so as to become 60W to 65W on and after the rated lifetime of the discharge lamp La. This adjustment of the lamp supply power is realized by changing the light adjustment signal in response to the accumulated lighting time.
- the discharge lamp lighting device built in the light fixture according to the third embodiment sets the relationship between the accumulated lighting time and the light adjustment signal so as to allow the following.
- the lamp supply power at the point of time when the lighting is started (when the accumulated lighting time is 0) is allowed to be set at 46W.
- the lamp supply power is allowed to be linearly increased during the period from 0 to 12000 hours as the rated lifetime of the FHF 32 in the accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be 65W at the point of time when 12000 hours elapse.
- the discharge lamp lighting device stores the set relationship in the correction table.
- the light fixture according to the third embodiment changes the lamp supply power from 46W to 65W.
- the light/electric power ratio becomes substantially constant when the lamp supply power is 46W to 65W, and accordingly, the light quantity can be increased without impairing the light emission efficiency of the discharge lamp La.
- by using only one lamp such a luminous flux substantially equivalent to that of the conventional example of using two lamps can be obtained.
- the discharge lamp lighting device is set so that the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La can be suppressed constantly to 60W after the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La reaches 60W. Accordingly, the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp La (fluorescent lamp of FHF 32) becomes 1.33 times the rated electric power of 45W, and a luminous flux of approximately 93% of that of the conventional fixture can be obtained.
- FIG. 8 a light fixture according to a fourth embodiment is shown.
- This light fixture includes: a fixture body 100 with a shape of a rectangular box in which a lower surface is open in a similar way to the light fixture described in the first embodiment; and a pair of lamp sockets 103 which are provided on one side surface of the fixture body 100 and allow discharge lamps La composed of compact fluorescent lamps FHF 32 to be mounted thereon.
- a discharge lamp lighting device (not shown) having a common configuration to that of the first embodiment or the second embodiment is attached to the fixture body 100.
- the inventors of the present invention investigated a relationship between the lamp electric power and the light quantity for the compact fluorescent lamp FHF 32, and then result shown in FIG. 9(a) were obtained.
- the FHF 32 is a high frequency fluorescent lamp with a tube length of approximately 410 mm and a tube diameter of 17.5 mm, in which the rated lamp electric power is 32W.
- results were obtained, that the light/electric power ratio became substantially 1.0 in the case where the lamp supply power was 34W or less, and that the light/electric power ratio became approximately 0.98 when the lamp supply power was 42W.
- the light fixture according to the fourth embodiment starts to supply the lamp supply power from a value lower than 32W as the rated electric power at the initial period of the operation, changes the light adjustment signal in response to the accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be a value higher than 32W as the rated electric power on and after a rated lifetime of the discharge lamp La, and thereby adjusts the lamp supply power (output of the inverter circuit 2).
- the light fixture sets the relationship between the accumulated lighting time and the light adjustment signal so as to allow the following.
- the lamp supply power at the point of time when the lighting is started (when the accumulated lighting time is 0 is allowed to be set at 30W.
- the lamp supply power is allowed to be linearly increased during the period from 0 to 12000 hours as the rated lifetime of the FHF 32 in the accumulated lighting time so that the lamp supply power can be 42W at the point of time when 12000 hours elapse.
- the light fixture stores the set relationship in the correction table.
- FIG. 10 a circuit configuration diagram of a discharge lamp lighting device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown.
- the fifth embodiment has a feature in a configuration of a preheating circuit 8', and configurations other than that of the preheating circuit 8' are common to those of the first embodiment.
- the same reference numerals are assigned to constituents common to those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
- the preheating circuit 8' composing the discharge lamp lighting device is composed of: a resonating inductor L1 (primary winding) composing the resonant circuit 3; a pair of secondary windings L2 and L2 magnetically coupled to the resonating inductor L1 and connected to the respective filaments (not shown) of the discharge lamps La; and impedance circuits Z and Z individually inserted between the secondary windings L2 and L2 and the filaments.
- FIG. 10 shows connection relationships between the impedance circuits Z and Z and the filaments by reference symbols A and B.
- Each of these impedance circuits Z and Z is composed of, for example, an LC series resonant circuit having a resonant frequency substantially equal to the preheating frequency.
- the impedance circuit Z supplies a current (preheating current) enough to allow the impedance to become substantially zero to the filament.
- the impedance circuit Z increases the impedance and suppresses the current supply to the filament.
- each of the secondary windings L2 and L2 is composed so that a phase of the current supplied to the filament of the discharge lamp La from the preheating circuit 8' can be inverted within a range of 90 degrees to 180 degrees with respect to a phase of the lamp current supplied to the discharge lamp La through the resonant circuit 3. Accordingly, a magnitude of a synthesized current supplied to each discharge lamp La can be suppressed.
- the value of the current supplied from the preheating circuit 8' to each filament of the discharge lamp La is suppressed at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted, whereby the rise of the filament temperature can be suppressed. Note that it is obvious that a similar effect is exerted even in the case of allowing the preheating circuit 8' in the fifth embodiment to replace the preheating circuit 8 in the second embodiment.
- FIG. 12 a circuit configuration diagram of a discharge lamp lighting device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown.
- the sixth embodiment has a feature in the configuration of the preheating circuit 8, and configurations other than that of the preheating circuit 8 are common to those of the first embodiment.
- the same reference numerals are assigned to constituents common to those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
- the preheating circuit 8 composing the discharge lamp lighting device has a feature in that a switching element Q3 composed of a normally-off MOSFET is connected in series to the primary winding of the preheating transformer T1.
- This switching element Q3 is subjected to on/off control by the preheating timer circuit 10, is switched on during the advanced preheating period and the starting period, and is switched off after the discharge lamp La is lighted.
- the switching element Q3 is switched on by the preheating timer circuit 10, and the preheating current is supplied from the preheating circuit 8 to the filament of the discharge lamp La. Then, at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted, the switching element Q3 is switched off by the preheating timer circuit 10, and shuts the supply of the current from the preheating circuit 8 to the filament of the discharge lamp La. As a result, the preheating circuit 8 sets, to zero, the current supplied from the preheating circuit 8 to the filament of the discharge lamp La at the time when the discharge lamp lighted, and thereby can suppress the rise of the filament temperature.
- the preheating transformer T1 may be composed so that a capacitor C4 can be connected in parallel to the switching element Q3, and that the phase of the current supplied from the preheating circuit 8 to the filament can be inverted by approximately 180 degrees with respect to the phase of the lamp current at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted.
- the preheating circuit 8 as described above, also when the switching element Q3 is switched off (the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted) , the current flows to the primary winding of the preheating transformer T1 through the capacitor C4, and the current is kept on being supplied to the filament of the discharge lamp La.
- the phase of current supplied from the preheating circuit 8 at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted and the phase of the lamp current are inverted from each other by approximately 180 degrees, and accordingly, in comparison with the case of only the lamp current, the current (synthesized current of the supplied current from the preheating circuit 8 and the lamp current) flowing through the discharge lamp La is reduced. As a result, the temperature rise of the filament of the discharge lamp La can be suppressed.
- the lamp currents are taken on an axis of abscissas, and electrode temperatures normalized by taking, as 1, an electrode temperature in the case where a current of approximately 650 mA is flown to the straight tube fluorescent lamp (for example, FHF 32) are taken on an axis of ordinates.
- the electrode temperature when the phase difference was set at approximately 0 degree is shown by an alternate long and short dash line I
- the electrode temperature when the phase difference was set at approximately 180 degrees is shown by a solid line II
- the electrode temperature when the supplied current was set at substantially zero is shown by a broken line III.
- the electrode temperature drops in the case (broken line III) where the supplied current from the preheating circuit 8 at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted is set at substantially zero, and the electrode temperature further drops in the case (solid line II) where the phase difference between the supplied current from the preheating circuit 8 and the lamp current is approximately 180 degrees.
- the rise of the electrode temperature at the time when the discharge lamp La is lighted can be suppressed by composing the preheating circuit 8 so that the phase difference between the lamp current and the supplied current from the preheating circuit 8 can be approximately 180 degrees.
- an apprehension that the lifetime of the discharge lamp La may be impaired is eliminated. Note that it is obvious that a similar effect is exerted even in the case of applying the configuration of the preheating circuit 8 in the sixth embodiment to the second embodiment.
- the present invention is applicable to a discharge lamp lighting device that lights the discharge lamp such as the fluorescent lamp, and to a light fixture that mounts the discharge lamp lighting device thereon.
